Current Events > Target Manager gets 30K in DONATION cause of a RUDE CUSTOMER..Whose Side You On?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Target manager,Tori Perrotti from Massachusetts received 30,000 in DONATIONS after a customer SHAMED her on social media, along with heer picture because she refused to sell an electric toothbrush that was mistakenly listed for 1 CENT!! But it went to Hell when the manager was called in by the cashier who thought this was a mistake and Tori had to come in to say it was a mistake and refused to sell it to him for that price which was basically free.

David Leavitti posted his anger on Twitter and even called the COPS after trying to buy an Oral B Pro 5000 electric toothbrush that retails for 90 smackeres but was marked on sale for 0.01 in Swansea

The self described award winning journalist tweeted to her that she was breaking the law when she refused to sell it for the price it was advertised and then posted that police said he would need to sue Target and they would make a report about his case and she also refused to sell it for even LOWER than the original sale advertised price!

Tori is described as #TargetTori by people who back Leavitt after it went viral but people soon started getting BEHIND tori as some say Leavitt should be "embarrassed" for trying to shame her by complaining publicly and posting her picture

Many sympathesized with her and started a Gofundme by a stranger who contacted her with the donations

Leavitt said he was buying a toothbrush like this cause he needed one after not being to afford a dentist for 3 years and wanted a good toothbrush and thought it was amazing to see it on sale for a cent!!

He then said Target should be held to account and that corporations are not above the law and the police officer would even testify that he saw the price and the manager wouldnt' sell him that for that price

But by Monday, Perrotti gofundme raised over 30,000 to "send her on vacation"

Tori told NBC News she was grateful for the support and said "My first thought was i wish i had worn makeup to work that day. It's so often that people will take the picture and make a meme out of it in a mean way. so, it's nice to see there's publicity out of this to support me and my feelings"

Target said they back their hard working team members to serve their guests everyday and will work closely with their team on these matters

Whose side are you on?

Grown ass adult acting like a fucking baby.

I'm sure if he complained enough the right way he would have gotten it. Instead he's rightly plastered as a clown.

What an unbelievable douchebag over an obvious mistake.

---

It literally says it's one cent for the display. That customer doesn't know how to read.

---

Any law types here, does that guy actually have any legal basis for demanding to be sold the toothbrush? Either way, these annoying assholes should not be enabled.

---

Dude literally wants a display toothbrush lmfao

---

This guy has a history of harassing people like this and act like he didn't know what was wrong. Beyond that he picture literally shows that the 1 cent is for the DISPLAY, it as it right there. As you see he didn't give a wide shot where the real price would be listed under it.

This dude is a crazy liberal, not surprised by his behavior in the least

I stronlgy doubt it. There are no laws mandating you sell items such as toothbrushes to someone as long as you arent refusing to sell because of their race or the like.

No. All stores have the right to refuse service to anyone they want.

Not to mention there isnt a SKU/UPC anywhere on that sticker as it plainly says display

https://blog.mass.gov/consumer/massconsumer/the-price-is-right-the-massachusetts-item-pricing-law/

"If there is a discrepancy between the price listed on the shelf or item and the price that it rings up at, the consumer must be offered one of two corrections:

If the item costs more than $10 and rings up higher than the advertised price, $10 must be deducted from the lowest advertised price.
If the item costs less than $10 and rings up higher than the advertised price the item should be given as free."

You're legally obligated by law to sell it as advertised no matter what. However the other poster is right it is listed as display, rather than the toothbrush. This will be up to the courts to decide if they choose to proceed down this path. But honestly a legal battle is something neither person wants to do.

But I don't know why she got 30k for basically being chewed out? It happens to retail people all the time. Am I confused? I don't see anything indicating he made a viral meme about her. Basically said this woman didn't follow the law and it's messed up. Which is somewhat true. You are obligated to sell at the advertised price even if your scanner is off if there's a sticker. The guy says the police confirmed it so it isn't a joke either they must've brought up the display point. Again meaning this will have to go to court and it's likely target loses, but both will be out of money essentially.

It says 1C you dingus. it's a display TB, not the actual product. All retailers do it for inventory purposes.

customers are the worse

---

Target. I don't believe his bullshit story about being poor and needing a fucking toothbrush for one. But yeah.. .01 cents errors. lmao. Shit happens all the time for games on walmart, bestbuy and target stores online, and people trying to take advantage get refunds. lol

---

Shocked Target didn't side with the customer because most retail companies bend over to appease even the worst customers.

But yeah, way too much drama over a damn toothbrush. Holy shit, you can tell when someone doesn't have a life.

---

Damn 30k that's crazy. She's kinda cute so it makes sense tho

---

target. i don't really give a shit about target's money, but they don't owe you free shit because of an error and you say so.

He is an self proclaimed award winning journlist with a number of followers and he put her picture and name out there to the public not just chewed her out.

I get that putting the picture and name is horrible but not something that warrants a public outreach of 30k. There have been people that get screamed at right to their faces that constantly stay professional and get chewed out you see it constantly on r/trashy, but I don't see 30k for those guys. Retail workers have had much worse than this lady. I get it if the guy doxed her and provided and address and she was getting threatened and people trashed her house and broke her windows why she would get 30k and I'd totally understand it. But none of that happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N10LNtAfLYU

#10 looks like they should get the 30k compared to a guy that seems to have just called the cops and then had them verify that it was true about the pricing discrepancy. Otherwise, why would the guy claim he had a police report verifying the whole thing? I mean...come on. Compared to being yelled at and having your cash register and drinks poured over you. Your picture and your name posted on a tweet calling you a jerk for not following the law seems tame compared to that and not worthy of 30k public outreach in my eyes. It doesn't even seem like she was treated horribly in person considering the cops didn't arrest anyone.

And again I know that it is a display model showing as 1 cent, but the cops supposedly came in and said the matter should be settled in court seems like they somewhat agreed with David. I wouldn't have but hey that's the court's job not mine. So not only is he possibly right but it doesn't seem like he treated her too horribly compared to most retail customer freakouts. Certainly not enough to go get 30k.

dude's petty as hell

How do people fall for these obvious scam gofundmes

---

The cops told him it was a civil matter and left. Like 1 out of 10 calls for suburban cops are crap like that.

People should honestly be punished for making dumbass calls like this.

---

Without any evidence that the sealed toothbrushes were priced at $0.01, I have to side with Target.

Well... it is an Oral-B Pro 5000.
---

I'm on the manager side 100%. But 30k donation for the manager?? I mean extra money doesn't hurt at all but she ain't need that much from this one situation unless I'm missing something here.

---

A lot of these gofundmes are scams and the money never makes it to the person they started it about.

---

It reads to me like you're paying 1 cent for a display toothbrush. I doubt the dude was so much for a moron that he ignores the capitalised "DISPLAY" on the sales ticket.

Of course, without the price of a boxed equivalent, mistakes are bound to happen and it's better to go home with your dignity intact than to challenge a global retailer like this. But like jeez, use your common sense.

---

i feel like you have to apply common sense in cases like this. i mean, in every case as well, but especially here

generally I agree that stores should be liable for false prices they list, but nobody sells electric toothbrushes for 1 cent, especially not high end models like that. like what if a car dealership listed a brand new car for 1 cent. its obviously an error and any reasonable person would expect that

Yup yup, one of those highly entitled neo-libs.

30K sounds insane to me, but I'm not hating her for it. Hope she enjoys it!

That guy looks exactly like the kind of person who would do something like this though. Even though they have no obligation to sell it to him for that price (obviously) if he would have acted with some tact they may have sold it to him anyways.

I remember years ago when Resident Evil 4 was first releasing, Best Buy made a mistake in their ad pricing it at $15. I went up there with the ad to see if there was a chance they would honor it. The guy said it was a mistake and he wasn't supposed sell it for that, but he let me get it for that price anyways. People just need some decency

---

It's one thing to be a dick to someone while they're trying to do their job. But on top of that, you're also one of those people who whip out your phone and start taking pictures of/recording people who disagree with you so you can shame them on the internet?

Fuck him.

Lol to me it looked like she told the asshole to hold on a minute, then stepped outside for a couple fat bong rips so she could put up with his shit without wanting to slap the shit outta him.

Typically when there an error I see, I ask if I can have it for the price. If I can't I can't. Crazy how people would go nuts for this kind of shit.

I could see the customer's point if it was marked down $20.00 or something, but the fact it was marked as 1 cent is obviously a mistake.

Did he really think the toothbrush was going for a single cent? The employee did a good job.

---

Does ANY retail store sell ANYthing for a single cent? Lowest thing I remember was 15 cent gum when I was a kid.

Guy was a prick, but they probably should've just honored the price. It's a drop in the bucket for a massive corporation and the bad publicity brought to the store isn't a good thing. Retail sucks, and asshole customers can and absolutely will take advantage.

I'm sure they would honor the price if he really wanted the display piece.
